Brown Sugar Beef Smokies (Print Format)

Bacon-wrapped beef smokies glazed with brown sugar for a sweet and smoky flavor combination.

# Ingredients:

→ Meat and Sausages

01 - 700 grams beef little smokies
02 - 120 grams chopped beef bacon

→ Sauce and Seasonings

03 - 200 grams brown sugar
04 - 60 milliliters barbecue sauce
05 - 15 milliliters Dijon mustard
06 - 5 milliliters garlic powder
07 - 2.5 milliliters ground black pepper

# Steps:

01 - Chop the beef bacon into small even pieces to ensure it crisps nicely during cooking and melds well with the sauce.
02 - In a large bowl, thoroughly mix brown sugar, barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper until the mixture is thick and sticky.
03 - Add the beef little smokies and chopped bacon to the bowl, folding gently until all pieces are evenly coated with the glaze.
04 - Transfer the coated smokies and bacon into a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Alternatively, simmer in a large pot over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and cook for about 45 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
05 - Stir the smokies to evenly redistribute the glaze and serve warm with toothpicks or garnish as desired.

# Tips:

01 - For a thicker glaze, cook uncovered during the last 30 minutes to reduce moisture. Slow cooker enhances flavor, while stovetop method is faster. Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to three days; reheat gently to preserve texture.
